Crazy Dreams

I have always been a dreamer. My whole life I have been one of those people that more often than not can remember my dreams. Well recently, my dreams have turned crazy. I don't mean nightmareish, but just crazy (and aparently this is a side effect of pregnancy...how or why, I don't know!).

Last night, I dreamed that we had given Riley to a friend when we moved away. While we were home visiting, Riley got sad when the new owner picked her up from visiting me. Because of Riley acting sad, the new owner decided to have her put to sleep. So, for the rest of my dream, I was running around, trying to find and save Riley! I had my mom calling all the vets telling them to not put her down, while I was racing all around town trying to find her and her new owner. It was quite the stressful dream! Honestly, I am glad its over...and I am glad to know that Riley is safe!

Besides the Riley dream, many of my dreams have been about the baby...me not having things ready for the baby, me going into labor at work and more. It seems like until this baby arrives, these dreams will just keep coming!

What I really want to know is the reason behind crazy dreams when you are pregnant. I mean, there has to be an explanation for it, right?!?
